The sun is low and salt-scented air slaps your face as you kick a buggy into a rutted track that threads through sugarcane plots and scrub palm. Tires throw up fine red dust; the guide radios a quick check and the convoy peels toward a thicket where a limestone cave waits, its cool water offering a sudden, private contrast to the heat and speed.
